Good morning everybody and welcome to wake me up.

Before we begin, I want to give a very special shout out to Alana for joining the wake-me-up Patreon community. Thanks Alana for your support of the show.

If you are still in bed, then go ahead and roll over and make your way to standing up.

Take the next 30 seconds or so and just listen to your body.

Do whatever stretches or loosening up that you want.

Whether that's rolling at your shoulders or your neck,

taking a full forward fold, or a combination of other things. Oh, All right now finish up your stretches, grab a sip of water if you need a little hydration,
